Very pleased with the Studer
I got my first Universal Audio Hardware about a month ago - the Twin Duo. Have mostly used the Studer. I love it. This is a new level up from the other plugins I´ve used. Working on a song for the moment, the Studer is used on nearly all tracks.

Amazing!
Absolutely the best 1176 plugin till today. Each one has a special taste, so you can use them in every track on your session. Actually I have a Lindell 7x but I'm preferring the UAD 1176 because is so faithfull to the original and much more easy to make recalls.

Incredible Sound for Drums
This Channel Strip is ideal for drums bus, the sound is very analog, dynamic, ryhtmic and powerfull. Great Sound !

Tape vibe to the max...
I recently bought the Neve 542 Tape Emulator hardware and I will say, that is perfection as far as tape sound goes, but this Studer A800 can get super close to the Neve and I was really amazed by it. I would say the Studer gets you about 85% of the way there and for those times I don't feel like tracking with the Neve, I can always add the Studer later and feel confident that I won't lose to much of what I would of had if I would have tracked with the Neve.

Lexicon 224 What a dream!
I really dig this plugin. I love it on lead guitars, acoustic guitars and sometimes even on vocal tracks. The Lexicon 224 has it's own unique sound and really delivers in any scenario.

Pultec
Had the luxury of an immediate a/b between the plugin version and the hardware version of the same Pultec EQ on the vocal I did for a friend's song.
While the two weren't identical, the truth is there wasn't anything discernibly off from the plug compared with the hardware once a couple settings get adjusted, and the same amount of eq adjustments would likely be required of two hardware units when you factor in calibration, age, original Pultec hardware vs kit rebuild - might just be in a different way.
Hardware connoisseurs say it's not quite the same, my own take is Universal Audio makes that delta feel like you're splitting atoms to complain about it.
The only problem with ua plugins? Nothing, and they have more you haven't tried.

Sounds Great
I can't say I own or have extensive experience with any of the hardware UA modeled here, but I can say (and I am about to use a cliche that has ventured beyond mere overuse) that aside from the compression itself, these emulations add warmth to whatever sound flows through the algorithm. Really like how it sounds on my vocal tracks, not to mention the straight forward controls. But mainly, in a comparison with the legacy LA-2A that came with my UA interface, it seems to sound much more like the sound source is actually passing through hardware adding that certain...whatever it is. Call it color, call it warmth, subtle harmonics, placebo. I like it. Can my mom hear a difference in her car on an Mp3 vs. simple leveling via automation? no

Classic sound ... Modern feel
While the children might not 'get it' this plugin provides that classic coloration and infinite space that made it a classic for so long. it's not the best reverb on the planet, but likt the awesome emt plate, it delivers on the UAD promise of both usability and authenticity.

API all the way
After buying the SSL & Neve channel strips I thought, I wouldn't need this one for a while. After I tried it, I had to get it. It has a certain sound that just fits. When I read that Fleetwood Mac used the API for Rumors it made perfect sense. It just has a musical quality that is very sweet.

Top Class
I've not really ever got on with plugin 1176s before - at best they ahve been serviceable and some have been a modern interpretation (sometimes very good) but not quite grabbing me in the same way as hardware!
These have nailed it.
Thanks UA

Excellent limiter/compressor
Gorgeous warm compressor/limiter. I use "silver" version for acoustic guitar (nylon) and bass. It gives me deep and fat analog character of sound. It don't mask guitar fingertip articulations as other compressors. With gain more than 50 sound became very punchy, so you must balance accuracy.
Great job for math simulation of device. Excellent that we have possibility easy to use this rare device plugin. Thanks!

very cool sound but suboptimal ergonomics
If the API Vision would'nt sound so cool and musically flexible as it sounds i would not use it because - for me (!) - the user interface is very suboptimal to handle. The "original" optics which ideally fit's on a hardware console sometimes feels if i will break my hands on my mouse.
It would be really nice to get a switchable alternative simple user interface (ideally with all UAD "vintage emu" plugins) with modern computer GUI elements like sliders and input fields (as on the nice precision series) just for work - for situations / times where original or "natural" optics is less important for the creativity.

Another satisfied customer here
I've been tracking vocals through UAD 1073 to La2a Grey and I've been getting fantastic results. I use the hardware Neve 1073 with the Apogee Symphony at my main studio but I don't think I'm missing out on any aspect for using Apollo w/ plugins for tracking. If i'm building an another studio, I'd definitely go with Apollos w/ UAD Plugs. (I'm a Pop/Urban Producer/Mixer)

Instant hyperspace
An incredible emulation of an iconic reverb machine. Very close to the original and much more versatile. A must have.
S. Wright
Very close
Closest thing I've heard yet to a real la2a. Has the same low end bump and pocket as the real thing.
T. Schreiber
Best emulation ever!

Bright an warm, holy Sh*t.
I love this plugin!!!!
